Diversity is often talked about within the context of minorities—especially citizens who are African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian Pacific, or Asian Indian. However, the increasing acceptance of minorities in society has led to a trend that may view the current minority as the New Majority in the next two or three decades. This means the present majority will be the minority in the future. How will this demographic change affect the way we talk about supplier diversity and equality in the workforce?
In this episode, we discuss the term “New Majority” and how this can affect the way we do business in the future. We share the reasons why we should be more careful about using new terms, especially when they quickly become antiquated. We explain the benefits of catering to diverse-owned firms over traditionally-owned firms and how it helps the industrial ecosystem in the long run. We also discuss why companies should avoid developing new programs designed for the New Majority.
